A Few Of Holly’s Favorite Things: Vera Bradley & Tiffany’s
Date: Thursday August 28, 2008Posted in: My Journal
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, A A A ….
Ok, sorry.. *clearing my throat* One little thing I love is … Vera Bradley and the color pink, as you might have been able to pick up on. I just do. But Vera .. Cute stuff. My dear sweet sister in law Elizabeth bought me this umbrella. It matches the Vera Bradley beach bag I also own. VERY Vera Cute… anyway I wanted to share that with you tonight. We all have favorite things… this would be one of mine.
Oh and while I am at it. The necklace I have on in the picture? Is my first “Tiffany’s”. My dear sweet family I work for in Hindale, IL. They fly me back a few times to stay at their house… well it was my birthday and they brought out this box! I opened it to find a beautiful cross necklace. So now I am a fan of “Tiffany’s” too
Whenever I see a picture with an umbrella I am reminded of the many blessings in my life, I don’t know why. I have them raining down around all the time! Do you ever feel like He has been too good? Like you don’t deserve all the good things He showers down upon you? You need an umbrella because you are overwhelmed? God has been so good to me. Has He been good to you? I know He has. He is good to all. Reminds me of the song “God is goood, all the time. He put this song of praise in this heart of mine. God is good, God is good all the time….”

Do I Wildly Share Jesus With Everyone I meet? Is It REALLY Important? If So? Why Don’t I?
Today on my way into my Dad’s study to study… my first courses from Moody! Which I love doing I might add. It is challanging but great… I turned the radio on. A speaker came on at the time I didn’t know but it was Lee Strobel. He was on focus on the family. I think you should listen to this guys message if you can. It was so good. He was talking about the importance of telling others about Jesus. It inspired me. And as I drove the car I found tears blinding my vision as I realized my lack in this area. I so want to be better at this.
One of his quotes I will quote from his sermon. He was an editor with the Chicago Tribune. He said, “I went into my boss one day and told him that I was a different person now… I had become a Christian and I was a follower of Jesus.” He said, “My boss looked at me and it looked like his cigar was gonna fall out of his mouth all he could say was ‘Well I’ll be damned’ he said I looked at him and said actually you don’t have to be!”
God had changed his life and he has so many interesting stories of how he has shared Christ with others. It will inspire you to share Christ in any way that you can, however you can. Isn’t it awesome what God will do with someone out to prove HE is false!?? Check out www.focusonthefamily.com

I like these posts Holly!
I also enjoy Vera Bradley…my collection consists of just a makeup bag, but I do love it!
I also loved that it rained a little this morning…a very vivid reminder of how much God blesses and provides!
Lee Strobel’s books are amazing if you’ve never read them…really reminds you that God can use ANYONE!
Thanks for the posts…
